No matter how much you want to euchre someone. Passing three trump with the right and ace and another is not good.

R+2 is too big of a hand to pass even if one has a euchre hand. So bad play by S4-R1.

S2's play on 3rd street actually bothers me more tho. Double leading your P in that spot is equivalent to saying "F*** you P!!". Terrible lead. You're putting your P in a squeeze spot setting him up to get overtrumped. Not good. S2 should be leading the fresh suit in that spot--the turned down suit--clubs.

Double leading a suit is correct when 1) trump has already been led, 2) youre boss in that suit, and 3) you don't have any better fresh suit boss leads (aces). But double leading your P before trump has been led is toxic and sets him up to fail. Never do that. Maybe there's some exception I'm not thinking of right now but nevertheless "never do that" is a great approximation.
